Harbour View Crematorium, Funeral Home & Woodland Burial Ground

10/11/2025

The Tapper family has been supporting families across Dorset since 1904; a legacy built on trust, compassion, and quiet dedication.
�
What began as a local family-run funeral service has grown into something deeply rooted in the community, yet ever evolving to meet the needs of today.

Harbour View is a natural extension of that journey, combining respect for tradition with a forward-thinking approach to funeral care. Set in the heart of the Dorset countryside, Harbour View represents not just a place of rest, but a thoughtful reimagining of what remembrance can look like: environmentally conscious, personal, and centred on people.

At Harbour View, care goes beyond the day of the funeral.

It’s found in every detail from the way we guide families with compassion, to the way we care for the environment, and the community that grows here.

This short film brings together the heart of what we do: supporting people through loss, honouring life with integrity, and creating a space where remembrance and nature exist in harmony 🌿

🧡 Halloween Bingo Night at Harbour View 🧡

On 31st October, Harbour View hosted a special Halloween Bingo Night, organised and hosted by Richard, Sharna and their dedicated team. The evening brought together members of the community for a warm and welcoming bereavement support event.

It was a chance to connect, share stories, and enjoy a light-hearted activity in a supportive environment. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the night meaningful.

Your presence and spirit truly made a difference.

We look forward to continuing these moments of connection and support in the future.

Plan ahead with clarity, care and confidence.

If you’re thinking about the future, a pre-paid funeral plan that includes direct cremation can offer real peace of mind. It allows you to put your wishes in place in advance whilst removing uncertainty for your family and ensuring everything is taken care of, exactly as you’d like.

Your loved ones are then free to plan any extra gathering or celebration they feel is right, without the pressure of decision-making at an emotional time.

Our team is here to guide you through your options, with no pressure, just open conversation and compassionate support.

Home Farm is more than part of the land, it's the heart of Harbour View.
